TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The defending Southeastern Conference Champion women's tennis team announced its 2014-15 schedule on Tuesday, which features seven fall tournaments and dual matches against at least six teams that finished in the top 25 last season.

"We're looking forward to another competitive schedule in 2014-15," said head coach Jenny Mainz. "We'll be tested this fall with some excellent tournaments to better equip our team for the challenging spring season."

The Crimson Tide kicks off its fall slate on Sept. 12, when it splits the squad to take part in both the Baylor HEB Kickoff and the Duke Fab Four Invite. From there, Alabama will head to Greenville, S.C., for the Furman Fall Classic, which runs Sept. 26-28, or the Riviera/ITA All-American Championships in Los Angeles from Sept. 27-Oct. 5. The Tide then hosts back-to-back tournaments beginning with the USTA/ITA Southern Regional Championships Oct. 10-13, followed by the Roberta Alison Fall Classic Oct. 31-Nov. 2. The final event of the season will take place Nov. 6-9, at the USTA/ITA National Indoor Championships in Flushing, N.Y.

"We're honored to begin our spring season with the inaugural Mal Moore Invitational, named in memory of the late Coach Moore," said Mainz. "We're privileged to be hosting the 2015 ITA Kick-Off Weekend with a stout group of teams in Princeton, Syracuse and Virginia Tech."

Should the Tide win both of its Kick-Off Weekend matches it will earn a spot in the National Team Indoor Championships, which will run Feb. 6-9, in Charlottesville, Va. Alabama will then take part in the Blue Gray National Tennis Classic in Montgomery Feb. 20-22.

"The Blue Gray will showcase some strong out-of-conference match-ups to help prepare us for SEC league play," added Mainz.

The Southeastern Conference Tournament will be held in Columbia, S.C., April 15-19. NCAA first and second rounds will take place May 8-10, at a site to be determined, while the remainder of the tournament will be played in Waco, Texas, at Baylor May 14-25.
